The question of the day:

The SJT Triathlon team!

















Don't be too impressed. This is a relay sprint tri: 400 yard swim, 11 mile bike ride, 5K run.


This whole thing was Franco's idea. Not only do we have to swim/bike/run, but we also had to get up at 4:30 am to get to the tri site.

Wisa lets him know exactly how she feels about early mornings. And exercise.



Team Ice Cream (or is is Team I Scream?): me in the water, Syl on the bike, and Dylan on the hoof.











The swimmers:

The smart people opt for the swim leg. It's first, the water's warm, and we're all done in 11 minutes or less. Alex finishes in 8 minutes, but he's young.






Yumi finishes but perishes immediately afterwards. We revive her later with a caffeine-injected brownie.

Stew was a swimmer but isn't in that photo; he apparently suffered a head injury in the water, because he decided at the last minute to do all three tri legs.

Whatever.





The bikers:

Notice Mike's not among them. An 11-mile ride would, for him, be like walking around the block.







Wisa takes off, still cursing Franco.










40 minutes later... Jeremy wonders if Wisa got lost. Or found an ice cream truck.






Britt's the first one to finish the bike leg and collapses after her ride. She must have hit her head on the way down, becuase she also decides to join the run. Rylan, too.





The rest of us look for a place to lie down. And eat brownies.













And the runners:

















Riding to Wisconsin on the tandem turned out to be good training for running a 5K, because Mike was the first one (of us) to finish.


Miraculously, we all finish! And in one piece! Even crazy Stew!

























And now... back to the studio for snacks. After all, the only reason to work out is so that you can eat more.






























Good times, good times...
